of course they're running out of ideas. You have Monopoly as mentioned above, you have a Far Cry movie made by yours truly Uwe Boll, you have The Hottie And The Nottie with Paris Hilton (obviously not video game based, but really. wtf?), and some half-assed parody movies like Meet The Spartans (though i havent actually seen it, it looks lame)
Hollywood is not the best place to look for new ideas because studios want to make money and they aren't going to risk it by trying something new that might flop. I think people shouldn't look for originality anymore because it would lead to dissapointment, but there are filmmakers that do try something that has already been done and do it in a different way.
Meh, it's about the same as always. If you look back a few decades ago, we had alot of book remakes. Now we have remakes of older movies. The problem isn't really with Hollwood chocking out new ideas, it's the people who pay to go see those rehashed ideas, over and over again. So remember kids, piracy gets you better movies :) (Not really)
They ARE out of idea. Hollywood is one of the worst sources of movies anyway, if they have any creative control, the movie will be terrible.Darth_Tyrev
Agreed, for the most part. They still make a few movies. I like The Departed.
I was going to mention "The Hottie and the Nottie" as a prime example but someone beat me to it. Hollywood is digging reaaaaaally deep is garbage like this gets financed.
